WORLD-CLASS TEAM AT YOUR SERVICE

A collaboration between a  highly experienced Antiguan and Canadian team

A collaboration of a local architect and builder with an international property developer and seller, the Beach Houses project is a very limited luxury real estate product given the uniqueness of having such a site approved inside the National Park. This makes the launch pricing of these ten villas a genuine investment opportunity, as the decades of experience the development team has in the region is displayed in the design and operations plan of the private enclave.

OUR TEAM

Each villa is designed and orientated to capture the   glorious Caribbean environment

Antigua is a luxury caribbean island

The   demand for villa vacations   is increasing exponentially. This was true even prior to the Covid pandemic.

The Community Association will share costs transparently amongst all owners to ensure the maintenance of all common areas and security for site for the enjoyment of all owners and guests. If desired, maintenance and rental services are provided under the ‘Beach Houses’ brand, and the rental market in the English Harbour area is buoyant.

- In 2018 over 1 million visitors came to Antigua 
- In 2019 Antigua stayover vacations grew by 14.9%
- Post-COVID a vacation home offers all the exposure safety of your own home versus a hotel room and common areas
